About the piece

A concerto by Daniel Steibelt, whose enormous popularity around 1800 rested on spectacular effects, above all the storm movements built on rolling tremolos that audiences found thrilling and other musicians found vulgar. His third concerto, containing such a storm, was among the most popular pieces in Europe for a period, and its success shaped concert programming well beyond his own career.
